32 Chance Encounters

On this day, the large army finally arrived at a small village outside the city of Xiangyang, and everyone was tired. I will spend the night in the village and set off tomorrow.

Who knows, there is a family in the village whose family members are infected with the wind and cold, and their lives are dying, and the family invites a witch doctor to see a doctor, and the witch doctor is doing a lot of things in the village, so the people in the village are not allowed to stay overnight for the time being.

This is the place where there is no village in front of the village, and seeing that the sky is about to dark, everyone is in trouble. Liu Feng said to Liu Yan: "There's no way, they have their difficulties, it seems that we have to spend a night in the suburbs today." ”

In fact, along the way, it is not once or twice to sleep in the open. Liu Yan looked around and found that the trees were dense in the distance, so she said to Liu Feng: "There is a forest over there, it looks not small, we might as well go into the forest to rest, maybe we can find a stream." ”

Liu Feng felt that it made sense, and the group walked in the direction of the woods. As soon as I entered the forest, I found that this forest was not small. Everyone walked for a while, found an open field, Liu Feng and Deng Ai went to hunt some game, and everyone raised a bonfire to prepare to rest in the forest tonight.

Who knows, not long after the bonfire was raised, the meat was not yet cooked, and an old voice suddenly came from afar: "I didn't expect to meet passers-by here, it's really blessed by God!"

The guards around Liu Feng stepped forward to check one after another, and found that the person who came was an old man with a white beard, carrying a bamboo basket on his back and holding a long wooden stick in his hand. Getting closer, everyone gasped, and the old man had a white beard that reached his knees.

Strangely, his voice was full of anger. He wore a soap-colored curly coat on his body, a large soap-colored silk shirt was exposed on his lower body, and a pair of bast shoes were on his feet. The old man took off the bamboo hat on his head with one hand, and saluted Liu Feng and the others.

"The old man was a doctor invited by the village in front of him, and he went into the mountain herbs in the morning, and unknowingly missed the hour. I happened to meet you, and I don't know if I can borrow a bonfire to warm up. The old man said.

When everyone heard that he claimed to be a doctor, they treated him with some respect. Liu Feng hurriedly got up: "Old man, please sit here." After thanking the old man, he sat down in front of the campfire and put down the bamboo basket on his back.

Liu Qiao was curious, and saw the bamboo basket trembling slightly on the ground, so she stretched out her head to look, but she didn't expect the head of a small animal to suddenly stick out from inside, which frightened her to scream.

The old man hurriedly opened the lid, and a swarthy monkey came out of it, crawled onto the old man's shoulder with a puff of smoke, and hugged the old man's neck with his upper limbs.

Liu Yan was also startled at first, but later saw that it was a monkey, so she was not afraid. hugged his sister and comforted: "Don't be afraid, it's a domesticated monkey, and it doesn't hurt people." Liu Qiao had never seen a monkey, and when she heard her sister say that it didn't hurt people, she became bold, and her eyes kept staring at the monkey.

The old man patted his leg when he saw this, and the monkey jumped up to his lap and sat down, and looked around obediently. Seeing that this monkey was so well-behaved, everyone came to see the excitement, and the old man introduced with a smile: "This thing is the best helper of the old man, the old man is old, thanks to it, he can still enter the mountain." ”

Liu Yan looked at her sister who was playing with the monkey and turned to ask the old man: "I don't know what Mr. is called?" The old man touched his beard: "The old man's surname is Zhang, and he doesn't dare to be Mr." "It is admirable that Mr. has practiced medicine at his age. Liu Feng said respectfully: "The son of the Kou clan in Changsha, the three brothers and sisters want to go to Xiangyang, I don't know where Mr. is going?"

"Oh, the little boy turned out to be from Changsha, and he lived in Changsha when he was young, but now, he has no fixed place to live, and he just travels around. The old man stroked his beard and smiled good-naturedly.

Everyone talked for a while, and the old man Zhang gave them a pulse, and each of them gave a few words of warning before they went to sleep. The next morning, when everyone woke up, the old man was gone, leaving a few fruits and a note on the ground.

When I picked it up and looked at it, I realized that the old man remembered the patient and had already left first. The fruit is picked from the mountain, and it is said that it has the effect of rejuvenating and nourishing qi, and it should be a reward, and he will be rewarded in person when he has the fate to do so.

Liu Qiao missed the little monkey and was stunned. The crowd continued on their way. Passing by the village yesterday, I made a special inquiry, and the old man surnamed Zhang was a well-known doctor in ten miles and eight townships, with superb medical skills and fairy-like means. Everyone regretted that they didn't take the opportunity to ask him to help them have a detailed consultation.

After two more days, everyone arrived at the destination of this trip, Xiangyang City. Xiangyang is the seat of Jingzhou, and it cannot be compared with Xinye County. Before everyone entered the city, they were already shocked by the prosperity here.

The wide street is lined with merchants, inns and restaurants. There were cars and pedestrians on the road, all dressed brightly and smiling. When Liu Yan and the others arrived here, they really saw what the weather of the big city was.

Because Liu Feng was anxious to find Sima Hui's residence, everyone found an inn, and after asking about the situation, Liu Yan, Liu Qiao, Deng Ai and others stayed at the inn, and Liu Feng went to Sima Mansion alone.

Liu Feng walked on the front foot, and Liu Yan on the back foot also followed with Liu Qiao and Deng Ai. Liu Yan's destination was originally Sima Mansion, but she deliberately went in the opposite direction with Liu Feng and walked around the city first.

Liu Qiao was curious about everything she saw and wanted to come forward and touch it. Liu Yan only let her enjoy it, but didn't buy it for her. Only occasionally when I see something to eat, I will buy it for Liu Qiao, of course, Deng Ai also has a share. It's just that Liu Qiao is never polite when she eats her sister, but Deng Ai is restrained and grateful.

Seeing that the time was almost up, the three of them went straight to Sima's mansion. I prayed in my heart that my brother wouldn't bump into my father by chance. She didn't know that at this time, Liu Bei had already gotten the news of Zhuge Liang and went to Zhuge Liang's residence.

When the group arrived at the door, Liu Qiao saw that the lintel of Sima Mansion was tall, even more magnificent than his own general's mansion, and the young lady's temper suddenly subsided a lot, and pulled Sister Sister's sleeve: "Brother, there are big people living here!"

Liu Yan dressed up and went up to knock on the door in person, and the person on the door came out to ask, she said that she was here to find her brother, and her brother came to visit the master in the morning. The man at the door went in and asked, "The one who came to see the master in the morning was indeed a young offspring, and he is still there." So he led Liu Yan and the others in.

Sima's house not only looks like the lintel is tall on the outside, but also a deep mansion compound inside, and Liu Yan and Liu Qiao are waiting in the hut next to the door room. After a while, two maids came out of it, saying that they were taking guests in on the orders of the lord.

Liu Yan and Liu Qiao followed the maid in, while Deng Ai stayed outside, and other subordinates placed him. Liu Yan took her sister all the way through a small garden, and arrived at a house, where the maid told them to wait and report by herself.

After a while, Liu Feng came out of it: "Why did you come with me?" "My brother didn't return for a long time, so we came looking for it." "Yes, yes, it's so big here!" Liu Qiao said excitedly.
